Women must not let him know about these private matters
From a personality perspective, I am one who does not allow impurities in life. However, “The Purple Flower Diaries” is a depiction of the indulgence of vulgar human nature. The story is about a middle-aged man who overlooks his wife’s diary and finds it detailing all the speculation about his affair and the details of the description. The wife’s words reveal her deep disappointment in her husband and her weariness of married life, leaving me with an extremely quiet despair.
The wife wrote in her diary that if one’s pain cannot be drained, then one is bound to break down, or change one’s ways and rebel in another, more intense way. The day I met the teacher I had a crush on as a student, the teacher I hadn’t seen in twenty years immediately recognized me, and my long, blank years disappeared in a flash into his gentle smile. So I chose to throw myself into the same dangerous game of illicit love as my husband. The wife’s confidence was restored by the nourishment of love. No longer concerned about her husband’s illicit affairs. The diary of the purple sunflower was now all about Mr. The man who is the spy is very indignant, but his reaction is a physical one; he cannot tolerate another man touching his wife’s body, almost entirely out of a man’s possessive instinct for women. But this is not surprising; after all, he has lost his love for his wife.
A fierce conflict is followed by a superficial calm. And then what we see is two people who can’t help but calculate the profit and loss, whether their own or someone else’s. In the end, it’s really about judging the part of a relationship that you can control and navigate. The wife said in a tone of epiphany after having an affair: Maybe marriage is just some collective unit which is full of selfishness and caprice. Sometimes you think you are sacrificing for the other person, but in fact, to be frank, you are doing it for yourself, so that the other person can better tolerate receiving themselves, the so-called I for everyone, the purpose is for everyone for me. So the story ends with her husband’s affair to hold a tolerant attitude, they can also stop with the teacher’s ambiguous relationship, the husband knows this, the two people continue to do nothing to continue to live as a couple under false pretenses. The two of them are just like two people sharing an umbrella after attending a funeral, regardless of what they are thinking under the umbrella, but the important thing is that they are under the same umbrella at the moment.
The existence of such a pretend couple is a fact, but it strikes me as some kind of shameful regression, because it once again brings back to the primitive the covenant that people have made for years because they love each other, that marriage exists to organize families. After reading it, I understand more deeply that Junichi Watanabe wants to tell the world more than that. In the end, if marriage really does not give a person a love, at least it can give a person a bed partner, which is a choice that people have no choice but to make to alleviate their loneliness as they grow old.
Most couples in the real world start out loving each other, but then the truth is that they really don’t love each other anymore, but they still choose to continue living together, and that’s because the power of loneliness is much greater than the power of love. The fact that they were once in love with each other and then no longer in love with each other already shows how easily love can be consumed! How loneliness is everlasting! The truth of love turns out to be this, tossing and turning between tolerance and doubt. The reason for this is that it is worthwhile to play with the very act of hugging, because the one who leans his face on your shoulder, you will never know what Ta’s eyes actually see…
For someone as naive and love-oriented as Shuran, such an ending is the saddest, because it puts Love is placed in a void while maintaining a seemingly calm and normal marital relationship. However, as the couple believes, they are tied together by a bond that cannot be separated, and although this bond is not love, it is not just children, property, or social opinion, which are physical things.
